Reply With QuoteHey Pre and Rock! Sorry for the late reply. Had to get ready for the bachelor party Friday! Had too much fun!
Rock: I edited the post for workout time. I've managed to up the pace a bit, so I think I'll be ok.
PreMier: My weights have been dropping quite a bit too. I'm hoping it levels off a bit...otherwise I'm going to be throwing some pretty pathetic weight around next week.

Wow, great BB Row!
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Thanks Rock! For some reason I thought I'd get 185x6, but it didnt quite happen.
Worth a try anyway.

Fricken barbell rows. I strained my neck/upper trap today, trying to go extra heavy.
I'll be pissed if it limits me tomorrow.

Damn...that sucks! Sorry to hear it. Coincidentally, I pulled something in my neck doing them today.
Feeling ok now though.

I am still a little tight, but its only noticable when I lean back or too much to the left. It may affect squating.
Happened on set 2 of 3; I guess I need to lighten up a bit next time.

I've always been guilty of having more balls than brains. Seems like I strain my neck lifting too heavy at least once a month.

Maybe you should do some neck exercises? I have some good suggestions from when I wrestled.

That may be a good idea. I wasnt really thinking it was due to a weak neck, so much as a "bad" neck. Neck problems run in my family. What do u do for neck exercises? My gym got a neck machine recently. I'll have to give it a try.

Yes, neck machines are the shit. If you have neck problems, be VERY VERY careful!

The one you need to be careful with is the forward motion(pads on face and pushing face forward) It is the hardest on the neck. Side and rear, are pretty easy to go heavier on.

Left my workout log at home, so I'll have to post todays workout tomorrow. All I can say about today is uuuugggghhh!. I felt extremely overtrained about half way through and was worried I wouldnt complete it. I managed to make it through and left the gym with the most amazing endorphin buzz I've had in a while. Workout details tomorrow...

You are actually approaching overtraining. Now week 4, then you'll really be there.Originally posted by Var

So how do you like 6 sets?
Where on your forearms are you getting pain? i think I have the same thing and I'm at the point where I almost have trouble picking any weight up.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I'm not liking the 6 sets. It isnt that the muscles are burning too much or anything...I just feel overtrained. Lots of joint pain that I usually dont have. The pain is on top of my forearm. Got so bad that the forarms gave out before my bi's even got pumped. Sounds exactly like what you mentioned in your log. Not good

TP said we would prob lose towards the end, but it would come back beginning of phase II. And remember, you feel overtrained, but you are. That's the point of this. Take 4 ibuprofen every 6 hours, that'll help with your forearm buddy!

Nah...I'm ok. I'm not worried about the pain. Just looking forward to some hypertrophy. I definitely dont look as big as I did a few weeks ago, so I'm looking forward to the next phase. I'll get through it with no probs. I'll just bitch a little

Wow! I'm a moron. Thats right...I admit it! I just keyed my new measurements into the spreadsheet and realized that I've gained a little size on almost every measurement.Originally posted by Var
